Ebstein anomaly of the tricuspid valve (EA) can be associated with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), a rare congenital cardiomyopathy. We report a 2 year-old female with EA and severe tricuspid regurgitation, LVNC, pulmonary hypertension, and chronic biventricular systolic heart failure, who died during evaluation for cardiac transplantation. Gene panel testing revealed a heterozygous de novo missense mutation in TPM1, which encodes the cardiac sarcomeric thin filament protein α-tropomyosin. The c.475G>A variant results in a p.Asp159Asn substitution, altering a highly conserved residue predicted to be damaging to protein structure and function. TPM1 is the second gene linked to EA with LVNC in humans, implicating overlap in the molecular basis of structural and myopathic heart disease. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In congenital heart diseases (CHD) of moderate to great complexity involving the right ventricle (RV), the morphologic RV can be exposed to significant stressors across the lifespan either in a biventricular circulation in a sub-pulmonary or sub-aortic position, or as part of a univentricular circulation. These include pressure and/or volume overload, hypoxia, ischemia, and periprocedural surgical stress leading to remodeling, maladaptation, dilation hypertrophy and dysfunction. This review examines the macroscopic remodeling of the RV in various forms of CHD and explores remodeling trajectories, along with the effects of surgeries and residual lesion repair, in tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein anomaly, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, transposition of the great arteries with atrial switch surgery, and single ventricle palliated by Fontan.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to screen the risk factors for delayed extubation after surgery for Ebstein's anomaly (EA), determine the diagnostic cut-off values, and develop a prediction equation to accurately encourage rapid recovery after surgery.
Methods: The perioperative data of 76 pediatric patients undergoing EA surgery in the Surgical Department of the Pediatric Heart Center of Anzhen Hospital from September 2013 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Among these cases, 37 (48.

Background: Ebstein's anomaly represents 40% of congenital tricuspid valve abnormalities. Studies about paediatric Ebstein's anomaly patients are limited.
Aim: To evaluate clinical characteristics, treatment (medical/arrhythmia ablation/surgical) results, and outcome of Ebstein's anomaly patients, and to determine factors affecting arrhythmia presence and mortality.
Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability in a Patient With Ebstein's Anomaly Complicated With Eisenmenger Syndrome.

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital displacement of the tricuspid valve resulting in atrialization of the right ventricle. About half of the patients with Ebstein's anomaly also have atrial septal defects, which may lead to chronic shunting and development of Eisenmenger syndrome. We describe a case of a sexagenarian male patient with a history of Ebstein's anomaly complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome undergoing robotic laparoscopic adrenalectomy who presented hemodynamic instability, hypoxemia, and likely right-to-left shunting intraoperatively, as well as the actions taken to correct it and have a successful outcome.
